Pitatus from 2nd Sept

Hello,

Here is an image of Pitatus from 2nd Sept. This avi and my previous Copernicus image were the only ones worth processing from that session as the seeing collapsed quite quickly soon after.

Pitatus is situated on the South bank of Mare Nubium and measures 100x100Km. According to VMA, Pitro Pitati was a 16th century Italian Mathematician and astronomer. For comparison, I have also attached a Lunar Orbiter image of Pitatus from VMA.

Cheers

Dennis
